She is a member of Romance Writers of America, the Society for Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators, (SCBWI) and the International Press Academy.

Lee’s interest in Pre-code Hollywood and the contributions of Jews to American culture propelled her to write her erotic romance, The New Orleans Hothouse, published by Loose Id. The New Orleans Hothouse details the erotic adventures of its protagonist, Danny Rothstein, and a beauty he meets in New Orleans in the button-down 1950s. Lee creates Jewish protagonists and anti-heroes who defy the usual neurotic nebbish stereotypes. She is also one of the contributors to the erotic anthology, Just Desserts, which will be available from Secret Hunger Publishing on June 22nd from Amazon.
